Slough Of Despair: New lyric video “Humanity’s Crucifixion” Out Now ft. art from Mars Triumph Arts

Last Updated on 11:35 AM by Giorgos Tsekas

Watch below Slough Of Despair’s new lyric video for their song “Humanity’s Crucifixion”, taken from their debut entitled Catacombs of Terror (2021, Chaos Records / Personal Records).

Hailing from Athens, Greece, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR were formed in 2018 and recorded their debut album in January 2020. Aptly titled Catacombs of Terror, this seven-song/42-minute monolith is suffocating to behold.

Devastatingly crushing whilst eerily atmospheric, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR uphold their moniker through an ominously lumbering, oft-ritualistic strain of doom-death. Its pound-and-plod is rendered in richly analog tones, robust in their clarity yet never losing any inherent rawness; more to the point, you FEEL this dark density deep within your soul. Then, ripping that soul asunder, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR mesmerize with malevolently melodic twists that take their time to develop, but deliver a bountiful payoff.

Patience thus rewards those willing to step fully into these Catacombs of Terror…
